While the county medical examiner–coroner’s office ruled Fuller’s death a suicide, his family demanded that his death be investigated, saying that Fuller — who had attended a Black Lives Matter protest just days before he died — had not appeared suicidal before his death.
“This afternoon I had to notify the sisters of Robert Fuller that their half-brother Terron Jammal Boone was killed by Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies in Kern County,” Jamon Hicks said in a statement. Around 4:30 p.m. in Rosamond on Wednesday, deputies began searching for a man who was wanted for kidnapping, spousal assault, and assault with a deadly weapon, CBS News reports. During the investigation, authorities spotted a man who they believed was the suspect — whom Hicks later identified as Boone — in a car with a woman and 7-year-old girl.
The woman’s brother told reporters, “We’re angry. We’re handling it the best way we know how, and right now, it’s in God’s hands. And I’m just glad and grateful that my sister is alive and that my niece is alive.” Per Hicks’s statement, Fuller’s family and legal team have no further comment on the incident at this time, and “respectfully ask that their privacy be respected.”
